Hey all,
Got a funny quirk going on. The electricity maps integration isn’t reporting the right value. If i click on the icon it takes me to the website where it says 99% low carbon, but the integration I have 0.1 kWh. If I set the country manually the same thing comes up. Any ideas what could be going on?
Cheers
Matthew
Those are the same. 99% low carbon is equivalent to 0.91% from fossil fuels.
Sorry there was a typo, i’ve edited my inital post. I’m wordering how HA calculates low carbon. 99% of 6 isn’t 0.1
The values are constantly changing, so you’d have to look at the historical values of both grid usage and FF percentage over time.
You also don’t mention for what time period your screenshot of the Energy Dashboard is for.
Pretty much at the exact time as i did the post. I’ll leave it for a couple days and see how that goes.
That doesn’t mean anything. The Energy Dashboard let’s you pick a time period that it’s aggregating data over, which has little (or nothing) to do with the point in time when you happen to view it (or view the current Electricity Maps grid data).
want to add my experience to this.
i’m experience the same behavior as @matthew73210
I also live in france. Low carbon for france on EM basically hovers between 94 and 98% all the time (nuclear yay).
values reported by the EM sensors in HASS are correct (4% fossil fiel share atm).
however, the values reported in the energy dashboard are wrong. in my case they are wildely underestimated (4% LOW CARBON). In fact, i’d say there is a good chance it’s just using the inverse of the actual value instead of the value itself.
would like to rectify here that my previous post was wrong, it just takes time to adjust ad the system considers all previously consumed power is NOT low carbon (fair assumption to make).
as new energy is being consumed, values adjust to reality.
no issues remaining for me
